Nature: Brain-inspired memory device

Unlike standard hard-wired circuits, molecular devices can be reconfigured using voltage to embed different computing tasks

"This work is our major breakthrough in designing low-energy computing

The research was first published in the journal Nature on September 1, 2021, and was carried out in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science Cultivation, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, University of Limerick, University of Oklahoma, and Texas A&M University

Brain-inspired technology

Professor Assoc Ariando said: "This new discovery is helpful to the development of edge computing.

"Similar to the flexibility and adaptability of the human brain connection, our memory device can be dynamically reconfigured in different computing tasks by simply changing the applied voltage

Using an imaging technique called Raman spectroscopy, the spectral features in the vibrational motion of organic molecules are observed to explain the multiple transitions

Researchers use decision tree algorithms with "if-then-other" sentences to describe the behavior of molecules.

New possibilities for energy-saving equipment

Based on their research, the team used molecular storage devices to run programs to complete different real-world computing tasks

Professor Assoc Ariando added: "This technology may first be applied to handheld devices, such as mobile phones and sensors, and other applications with limited power

The team is building new electronic devices, combining their innovations, and collaborating with collaborators to conduct simulations and benchmark tests related to existing technologies
